It was a decent night. I drifted off around two. And now, sleep doesn't come again. Doesn't matter. I'm going to school in two hours anyway.

I tried recording on Saturday night, since I was up. I found that I couldn't. My hand suddenly started trembling, and my heart was beating rapidly, and my stomach was churning and churning and whipping itself into a nervous frenzy. It was like I was afraid. But I didn't think it'd get this bad. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of myself.

There's a bad taste in my mouth even as I write this, and my hand still shakes, even though the sun is starting to come up. But I just have this feeling, in the deep pit of my stomach. Something is happening to me.
